COMMENTS FROM THE CHAIR: None.
COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC: None.
AUDIT UPDATE: Terry Sercer provided the report of the 2022 audit. The audit letter cites an unqualified, unmodified, clean opinion. There were no violations of Kansas statutes nor federal regulations. A large economic impact passes through the community because of the federal aid that runs through the college. He highlighted $2.7
million in CARES money that came to the college as well. He added clean audits are not to be taken for granted,
and is a credit to the college.

the consent agenda.
ITEMS FOR REVIEW: The Board reviewed items of correspondence.

ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATES: The Board reviewed and heard updates from Workforce Development,
Instruction, Finance and Operations, Athletics, Student Affairs, Student Services, and the President.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to come before the Trustees, a motion to adjourn was made at
